Dear Colleague,
Great job coming together in recent weeks to participate in Solidarity Breaks, the Teach-in, and Lunchtime Rallies! And excellent work showing up to the Los Angeles and Oakland Value Scientists! Rallies! Your participation in these CAPS Actions will help to win at the bargaining table. Our strength is determined by YOU and YOUR colleagues’ continued participation! So let’s keep it up!
NEXT WEEK is the last of our series of three rallies! Join us in front of CalHR, then march with us to the West Steps of the State Capitol to rally in support of the CAPS Bargaining Team and for a fair contract! Make sure your demands are heard!
The Action: Join the CAPS Rally in YOUR Region!
Where: Sacramento: In front of CalHR at 1810 16th St, Sacramento, CA 95811, then marching with us to the West Steps of the State Capitol (10th Street, between N and L, Sacramento)
When: August 30, from 12PM – 2PM
How to participate: RSVP here to let us know you plan to come to any of the Rallies! Reach out to your colleagues, make posters with CAPS-provided supplies, join your colleagues, and chant your heart out! Tell this Administration we demand a Fair Contract!
The Goal: You and your colleagues will be ramping up the pressure on this Administration! They are hearing from your CAPS Bargaining Team that their offers at the Bargaining Table over the last few years are not enough to come to a full and final Tentative Agreement, and that they need to #ValueScientists! Now, we invite you to come out to CalHR & the State Capitol to deliver this message to the Administration YOURSELF!
Remember: CAPS Rallies are VISUAL Actions! Take to social media to share your loud, proud, positive messages in support of a fair contract!
Take a picture of yourself and your colleagues rocking your CAPS green at the Rally! Tag CAPS on social media: @capsscientists (Instagram and Twitter), and use the hashtag #ValueScientists. Email your photos to caps@capsscientists.org to be featured on CAPS’ social media. Go live at the rally. Talk to the media that comes to the rally! Most importantly, just show up!
Your attendance tells this Administration that State Scientists are serious about standing up for our VALUE!
CAPS is not able to secure release time for folks to attend these rallies, so please plan to attend on your own time (i.e. vacation time, annual leave, RDO, etc.).
